Review
An opaque interface makes XmediaStorm's extensive and uncommon feature set difficult to appreciate. The chaos of buttons in the main window sent us running for the tutorial, which proved too basic to give us any real understanding of the program's features. You won't find tool tips here to give you hints, either. Perhaps it's a limitation of the trial version, but we could only process the program's sample videos and images; personal videos and images had to be imported into the program before they could be processed. Video professionals may find XmediaStorm useful, but others are likely to find the steep learning curve frustrating.
